"The Black Museum" is a radio crime-drama series produced by Harry Alan Towers, first broadcast in the USA on the Mutual network in 1952 and later in Europe on Radio Luxembourg in 1953. Based on true-life cases from Scotland Yard's Crime Museum, each episode revolves around an item or evidence connected to a murder. Orson Welles narrates and hosts the show, setting the scene and providing commentary throughout the episodes. With scripts written by Ira Marion and music composed by Sidney Torch, the series takes listeners on a journey through grim tales of homicide, adapting stories from the objects housed in the infamous museum previously closed to the general public.
